Rabbi Juliana Schnur Karol grew up in Scarsdale, NY. She attended New York University, earning her B.A. summa cum laude in Spanish Literature and Jewish History in 2008, and her M.A. in Jewish History in 2011. Prior to enrolling at Hebrew Union College—Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR), Rabbi Karol worked in international relations at the Mémorial de la Shoah in Paris, France. She then moved to Washington, D.C. where she served as legislative assistant and then projects coordinator at the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism. She returned to New York City to serve as assistant to the president-elect of the Union for Reform Judaism, Rabbi Rick Jacobs, and subsequently as coordinator of strategic initiatives. During her tenure at HUC-JIR, Rabbi Karol served for three years as rabbinical intern for Congregation Rodeph Sholom and as co-coordinator of the HUC-JIR Soup Kitchen where she led a successful capital campaign to renovate the kitchen facilities. She earned prizes for Hebrew language and literature, community service, and academic achievement. Rabbi Karol is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, an alumna of the Wexner Graduate Fellowship, the Tisch Rabbinical Fellowship, and the American Jewish World Service Global Justice Fellowship. She is also a senior fellow of Humanity in Action, an educational organization that promotes active citizenship worldwide. Juli lives with her husband, Adam, their son, Joshua, and daughter Eva on the Upper East Side.
Our initiative for young children and their grown-ups provides a slate of offerings including Shabbat and holiday celebrations, music, classroom readiness programs, and new parent experiences. During the pandemic, we have leaned on $1m of seed funding for Sholom Sprouts established through this campaign as we offer age-appropriate virtual programs for our families with young children, who are the future of our community. We look forward to welcoming our littlest members and their grown-ups back to our new fifth floor, as well as hiring a Program Assistant to increase the capacity of Sholom Sprouts to grow. This program provides a crucial entry-point to the congregation and membership for young families.
